AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.

This 2012 Vauxhall has 18 MOT tests on record with a 67% pass rate and 9,808 miles. The vehicle's low mileage for its age, combined with a high number of recurring issues, makes it a high-risk purchase.

The vehicle shows consistently low annual mileage (6,559 miles/yr), averaging 9,808 miles over 14 years, with no suspicious drops or spikes.

Things to check

  • DANGEROUS tyre defects recorded in 3 separate MOT tests (Mar 2022, Mar 2023, Mar 2024).
  • 6 major failures across 14 MOT tests, with 23 advisories, indicating chronic neglect.
  • Exhaust emissions and suspension issues are recurring, escalating from advisories to major failures.
  • The 2017-05-26 MOT advisory for worn tyres was a precursor to dangerous failures in subsequent years.

Working in its favour

  • Mileage is consistently low for its age, averaging 6,559 miles/year, suggesting light use.
  • The vehicle has a valid MOT until March 2027, indicating it is currently roadworthy.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage manipulation is present in the MOT history.
  • Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) suggests a generally safe vehicle design.
